I have a paper form that I ultimately want to us as a background template in SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio for a report. When I scan the form, it results in a 5088 x 6600 image - which is way too big. When I try to re-size the image in PS 6 (I know, but it's all we have at my office) the text becomes unreadable.
So basically I want to scan a paper form that is 8.5x11 and have it appear the same aspect ratio on my screen and also have it print out in the same size.

if you want to same size like your screen then scan in 72 DPI Resulation and if you want for printing purpose then 150 Dpi is best size..
What you need to do is change the resolution of the scan. In the scanner settings there is a setting for "dpi". Currently, from the pixel dimensions you give, it's set to 600 dpi which is way more than you need.
150 dpi is probably a decent compromise between screen size and printability.
